Phonophone II iPod Speakers: Just Don't Look at the Price Tag

Mar 31 2008 - 7:00am

Have a need for extravagantly priced but exquisite-looking white ceramic iPod speakers? The Phonophone II [1], more whimsically described by Unica Home as a "sculptural audio console," costs $450, but this is a true piece of artwork.

[2]That's how I'm choosing to think of this piece by Tristan Zimmerman — as a "piece" — rather than just some iPod speakers. Then I can appreciate it as gorgeous instead of just glancing at it and passing over it as "too expensive." I love the all-white ceramic rendering and the Vintage Geek [3] subversion that creates a beautiful and modern element of tech art. It's totally going in my "someday" file!
